A/N: Hey! Another Our Secret chapter, finally! I’m afraid to tell you all that the next one will be the last chapter of the story! Yup, Our Secret is coming to an end! Better enjoy this then c:
At first, Jinyoung thought it would be better and way more discreet to wait for the ambulance where you had passed out instead of picking you up and carrying you around. He didn't know where you were injured and one of the things he remembered from his first aid course, he once attended in school, is to not move somebody unconscious when you do not know which parts of their body are injured. However, when time kept passing painfully slow and you didn't open your eyes and his patience ran short, Jinyoung crouched down and as carefully as he could picked you up, holding your body against his.
He was desperate and scared. You were out, the only movement you were making was to breathe and, even when that as a good sign, Jinyoung wished you weren’t in the state you were. What if the injuries were too serious? What if you had hit your head too hard and the damage that had been done was irreparable? His plan wasn't supposed to go this way and Jinyoung felt as if he had royally fucked up. Jaebum, specifically, was the one supposed to get the worse part, he had never thought it would backfired to the point you would need to be taken to the hospital. What has he done?
"We're going to take you to the hospital" He whispered gently, bringing you up against his chest as he buried your face into his neck to cover you as much as he could.
Now that he planned to carry you around he knew it wouldn’t be too long until somebody noticed him and the limp body he was carrying. Pictures will be taken and he didn’t want your injured face to be plastered everywhere, in magazines, newspapers and every social media he knew.
Like he predicted, the chaos started as soon as he walked out of the alleway with you in his arms. He saw how it all began when a girl, a teenager that was walking around with her group of friends, recognised him. Even when Jinyoung gestured her to keep quiet, the girl told her friends besides her and in a few seconds there was a bunch of people running towards you and him.
"Don't take pictures please" He begged, holding you against him, ignoring all the questions that were being thrown at him. Jinyoung kept one of his arms around your body but used his other hand to keep your face against his neck “Please, don’t”
Is she the famous girl? What happened to her? Why were you with her in the alleyway? Are you also involved in the poly relationship?
Jinyoung was ready to ignore everything that was being said and look for the ambulance instead when he heard a comment that he knew he needed to reply to.
"She got what she deserves, that's how sluts learn their lessons"
He immediately stopped walking, fear turning into rage, running through his veins. He might consider you the person who stole the love of his life from his hands, Jinyoung might even hate you a little but deep down, he knew you were a really good person, you made Jaebum happy and nobody, not even you, deserved to be talked about like that after what you went through.
The person who spoke immediately knew she shouldn't have said that when Jinyoung looked straight at her, right into her eyes. Everyone knew the good side of him, everyone had seen videos of him getting mad at the members but nobody, not even the members themselves, had seen how Jinyoung was when he felt extremely angry.
"What do you know about her?" He asked, holding you even tighter against him. Guiltiness was eating him away, he acted like a kid and the wrong person had paid the consequences of his tantrum. "This girl, right here, is just a victim of stupid rumours and psychotic fans" Jinyoung scoffed, he knew some people were recording him but he couldn't care less at this point to be honest. He would deal later with the boss when you were safe and sound, being checked by doctors and nurses "She's just Jackson's childhood friend for god sake! Do you think we have time for relationships and dramas? Do YOU think we would go out with somebody knowing what some fans could do to them?" The girl looked at him stunned, completely speechless as Jinyoung stared at her. "Whoever did this to her...Whoever talked about her bad without knowing her first doesn't even deserve to be a fan of us"
Jinyoung opened his mouth to say something else when he heard the ambulance approaching. He glanced one more time at the fan, the one who had been frowning and biting her lower lip o not start crying, and without saying anything else, he turned around and started walking away, willing to get you to the hospital as soon as possible.

By the time Jackson and Jaebum came back from talking with their boss, the boys were all sitting there, waiting for them with grim expressions. Jinyoung had called Mark on his way to the hospital, updating the guys in everything that happened, needless to say that it became obvious he had been the one who sent the anonymous message that unveiled this whole chaos. Everybody was nervous, tense since it was clear Jackson and Jaebum wouldn't respond to nicely to what they were about to explain.
"Where's Jinyoung" Jackson asked with a really serious expression as soon as he walked into the room. He was incredibly mad and he wanted to have a talk with Jinyoung. Unfortunately, when he scanned the room his band mate was nowhere to be seen. "Smart, ran away"
"Huh…" Youngjae was the first one to broke the silence, glancing at Jaebum with a concerned expression. "I think you guys should sit down"
Jackson punched the table loud enough to make all of the guys jolt half surprised, half scared "Don't tell me to fucking sit down when I was almost fired thanks to fucking Jinyoung" He gritted, jaw tense "I'm dragging him down with me if we end up being kicked out so he better starts packing his luggage too"
"You're fired?" Bambam asked, eyes wide opened as he stared at them
Jaebum pulled a chair closer to Jackson, waiting for him to sit and calm down a little before they told them whatever they seemed to be holding back. "Not yet but the company is obviously going to investigate if we're really romantically involved with the other" Jaebum explained sitting down on a chair besides the one that was supposed to be for Jackson "If they find anything apart from the message Jinyoung sent, we're fired for sure"
"But you guys were careful right?" Yugyeom asked quietly, worried for his friends. What would they do without Jackson? Without their hard working leader Jaebum? The group would surely end up dissolving if those two were kicked out of it. "I mean, do you think somebody has something that could….Get you in trouble?"
"You should ask Jinyoung since he seems pretty keen on kicking us out" Jackson said in a sarcastic tone, finally sitting down besides Jaebum when he patted the empty seat once again.
"Calm down Jackson, please" Jaebum said softly, reaching up to place his hand on Jackson's shoulder and squeeze it gently "The more agitated you become the more possibilities there are to fuck this up, we need to be calm and look relaxed if we don't want our asses to be fired"
"Whatever Jaebum" Jackson mumbled, shaking his head as he rubbed his face frustrated "The rumour keeps spreading, Park Jinyoung is probably asking every single human on Earth about our supposed poly relationship, (Y/N) is missing and Jinyoung isn't even here to-"
"Jinyoung is with (Y/N)" Matt blurted out, thinking the sooner they spilled the beans the better it would for everybody.
However when both males turned their heads to stare at him as if he had three eyes, Mark couldn’t help but gulp loudly knowing they were waiting for a detailed explanation as to why Jinyoung was with you when he was supposedly against the three of you.
“I swear to God if that fucker hurts her more than he already did I’m breaking his face” Jaebum sighed at Jackson’s comment, clearly upset about this whole situation.
“Jackson” Jaebum spoke out, getting the other male’s attention instantly “Get out of the room”
Jackson froze on his place, not believing what he was hearing. He stared at Jaebum, a hurt and confused expression on his face “What? But they-”
“I’m not talking as a friend, I’m talking as the leader of the group and I want you out right now, please” Jaebum asked nicely once again, looking away from him to let him know he wasn’t changing his mind about his decision.
“She’s my girlfriend too, I have a right to know where the fuck she is, don’t you fucking think Jaebum?”
The boys were absolutely frozen when Jaebum stood up to face Jackson. The latter was way taller than him and if a fight was about to be started, the guys feared for Jaebum’s health. Little did they know Jaebum could handle Jackson pretty well and he wasn’t the tiny bit scared about him, his boyfriend was most of the time all bark but not bite.
“I’m telling you to get the fuck out of the room Jackson” Jaebum snapped, raising his voice a little to let the other male know he wasn’t playing around “They’re obviously not going to talk if you are here making them nervous, so get out and give us a moment” The leader instructed pointing towards the door “I’ll update you as soon as I talk with them”
Jackson glared at Jaebum one last time, taking deep breaths as he opened and closed his hands pretty quickly to try and relax before turning around a leaving, shaking his head as he opened the door and closed it behind him.
The room was left in a cold yet tense silence, everyone was stunned at how an angry Jackson had easily obedient a calm Jaebum, the guys had never seen him mad but Jackson had and he never ever wanted to make Jaebum angry once again. Besides, the sooner the guys talked with him, the sooner they would be able to get out of the building and head towards wherever you were.
Jaebum waited a few seconds before he turned around to face the guys with a sigh, rubbing his eyes tiredly as he sat back down onto his chair. “So...Care to tell me what is going on?” He asked in a low tone, it was obvious that he felt exhausted and some of the guys felt slightly bad about him. However, some just were worried about what would happen if JYP ended up firing you. They were truly in trouble if that happened.
“Uh..” Yugyeom glanced up at Jaebum, hands rubbing his thighs nervously as he glanced at the rest of his friends, somebody needed to tell him but nobody wanted to break the awful news to him.
“Some fans reacted in a really, really wrong way to the article that was posted about you three” Youngjae decided to tell Jaebum, they were really good friends and it kind of felt right for him to do it “Apparently (Y/N) was going to spend the night in a motel or something like that, I don’t know what Jinyoung said, he was too nervous to hear him properly”
“Is she okay?” Jaebum’s voice turned from serious and stern to scared and weak, he needed to know you were safe and sound and nothing had happened to you. The male knew how possesive some fans could be when it came to them and if some of them had encountered you then...Things couldn’t have gone well for sure. “Please tell me she is okay”
“Jaebum” Youngjae stood up, willing to support his friend right after he told him “Some of those fans saw (Y/N) and-”
“No” Jaebum shook his head refusing to listen to anything else he had to say. He felt like a failure, he felt horrible...He definitely should have listened to Jinyoung when he told him to push his girlfriend away, when he said he wouldn’t be able to protect her forever. Now that it had happened, that you had gotten injured because of who he was, Jaebum felt like the worst boyfriend ever.
“Jinyoung found her and called an ambulance, they’re probably in the hospital right now” Mark joined them, glancing at Jaebum concerned. He looked broken, not as calm and collected as he did look when he kicked Jackson out of the room.
“Which hospital?”
“They’re in-”
But Jackson was already running away, not even waiting for Jaebum.

“Park Jinyoung?”
The soft voice of the nurse made Jinyoung move his eyes away from the hateful comments he was reading in Twitter up to her. The female’s cheeks blushed as soon as his eyes landed on her face, he was probably a fan but Jinyoung couldn’t care less at this point. His only concern was your health, everything else had been left behind when he walked with you into that ambulance.
You had clinged onto his hand with the little strength you had left and opening your eyes you had seen the guilt and hatred Jinyoung felt at the moment. Even when all this mess was his fault, you had simply looked into his eyes with a small smile and whispered a quiet ‘it’s okay’, Jinyoung didn’t start crying right in that moment because he wanted to be strong for you, if you hadn’t been there, he would have cried like a little girl.
“Yeah” He said clearing his throat, standing up to approach the nurse.
“She’s stable” The female spoke with a small smile, happy to bring some good news to the stressed idol “There are a few injuries that will take time to heal but she will be fine” Jinyoung sighed, holding back the urge to hug the female in front of him “You can see her now, she is awake”
Inside the room, you laid down onto a comfortable bed. The mattress wasn’t as fluffy as the one you and the guys had back in your apartment but it wasn’t that uncomfortable. The sheets the nurse had carefully place on your body were warm and fluffy, enough to calm the little stress you had been feeling when you were brought back from the unconscious state you had been in, the doctor had explained every little injury those fans created and after insisting for a couple of minutes, he gave up in trying to convince you to sue those girls.
What they had done was totally unfair but you didn’t want to bring more problems to GOT7 and the company.
The silence in the room was broken by the sound of the door opening, you had been assigned into a room for yourself probably because of the famous idol that had accompanied you the whole time, you never liked using their power to get some privileges but you were slightly thankful for not having to stand a room mate that would ask questions you didn’t even want to think about.
“Hey” You were the first one to speak when Jinyoung eyes landed on you. Your mind was confused about him, there was something that must have pushed him to do what he did. Jinyoung wasn’t a bad person by nature, you knew this, you knew him and he didn’t start hating you until the secret of your relationship with Jackson and Jaebum was leaked.
“Hey” Jinyoung said back, closing the door and taking a seat besides your bed. He looked tired, stressed, broken...Jinyoung looked devastated.
“Thank-”
“Don’t” His voice broke as his eyes looked away from yours “Don’t thank me” He added shaking his head, staring down at his hands. “Look at what happened, all because I was a selfish bastard” Jinyoung whispered, covering his face with both of his hands as he released another deep sigh.
“You’re not a selfish bastard Jinyoung” You shook your head, glancing at him before moving your eyes back down to the sheets covering your wounded body. “You just did what you thought it was best for the group”
“I wasn’t thinking about the group (Y/N), I was thinking about me” He confessed, making you frown deeply
“What do you mean?”
“The truth is” Jinyoung sighed again, lifting his head up to look at you “When I tried to convince you or the guys to break that relationship, it wasn’t because of the group itself, it was because I have feelings for Jaebum and I have had them since a really really long time ago”
Jackson froze outside of the room, hand in the knob as he was surprised by Jinyoung’s words. His first intention had been to break into the room, slam Jinyoung down into the floor and run to you. Spoil you with all his love and attention, kiss your pain away and caress all those tears that you had probably cried during that awful moment those fans made you go through.
But Jinyoung’s confession caught him off guard and everything he had planned was left forgotten.
“Y-You....Do?” You asked hesitant, watching the small smile that appeared on his face
“I do” He confirmed, for a second you felt guilty. You kind of understood now why he hated you so much, you were the reason Jaebum had forgotten about him to only focus on you and Jackson. You were the person that stole the love of his life from his hands. “I used to have a crush on him when we were trainees” Jinyoung started, looking at you with sad eyes “We even went out on a few dates...But something happened, Jaebum probably got scared of what dating me, another male meant and broke whatever we had off” He simply said, a small shrug shaking his body “That’s why when I found out that not only was he dating Jackson, he was also dating another person, a girl was quite…”
“Frustrating” You finished his sentence off for him
“I don’t even know how I felt, I just wanted you to get out of our lives, I wanted Jaebum to suffer and I knew making you go away was the best punishment I could give him” A quiet sob escaped his lips and your heart broke, you had never hated Jinyoung, not even when he strongly disapproved your relationship and now that you were hearing his side of the story, you could only feel bad for him, for what you had done.
“I...Jinyoung, why didn’t you tell us anything? We could have talked this out, solve this like adults”
“I was so blinded by hate...Fuck (Y/N), I hated the three of you so much...But when I saw you in that alleway, unconscious and wounded I felt like the worst human on Earth” He shook his head again, using his hands to brush his tears away “I shouldn’t have done what I did, you ended up in the hospital, the group is broken and Jackson is probably on his way to kill me...They don’t even know if they’re going to be fired yet”
“What?” You opened your eyes wide, staring at him “What happened to them?” Before you could say something else the door opened again, you didn’t have time to process what was going on since everything happened incredibly fast.
Jaebum walked straight into the room, not even sparing you a glance as he walked towards Jinyoung. Jackson walked behind him, begging and telling your boyfriend to calm down as he grabbed Jinyoung by the collar of his shirt and pulled him up from it. You’ve never seen Jaebum so mad and the sight of it was simply terrifying.
“Jaebum” You muttered but he wasn’t listening to you, he was too focused on Jinyoung and on all the things he wanted to do to his bandmate “Jackson, separate them” Jackson glance at you but you saw in his eyes that Jaebum had probably warned him to not get in his way.
“I gave you multiple chances to fuck off Jinyoung, to leave us fucking alone” He whispered, pushing Jinyoung against the wall harshly. Thank God the door was closed because if it wasn’t the rumours about you would only get worse.
“Jaebum” Jinyoung’s lower lip started to shake, this was what he had feared the most. Not Jackson’s hatred or your hatred but Jaebum’s “Jaebum please hear me out”
“I don’t care if you ruin mine...But look at what happened to her because of you, look what you did to her!” His voice echoed in the room, anger running through his veins as he felt more and more violent the longer he looked at Jinyoung.
“Jaebum!” You shouted, making everybody freeze. Jaebum’s eyes moved away from the other male to you, looking like a child who had been caught doing something he shouldn’t “Let Jinyoung go and sit down, we all need to have a talk”
